I've been meaning to pick this up for weeks now. They had it on sale at Barnes and Noble during the holiday season for on $21.99 I believe. It's a gorgeous coffee table book imo.

i got my copy for 50% off plus another 10% off cuz i have a B&N members card...i don't know how much that came to, but i got a similar deal on the 21 nights book, so i was able to get both books for less than the price of ONE copy of 21 Nights at full retail! woot!

oh, and yeah, the "life and times" book is a lot of fun to flip through. nod

I got mine as a Christmas gift too. I LOVE the cover, and I thought it was very informative with some great photos. It was definitely one of my favorite gifts this year.

I love how detailed it is....lots of stuff for the Music Nuts and lots of stuff for the "Prince personality nuts" also, I just thought it was well rounded and well thought out.

There is a book called 'Prince - Chronicles' by the same author coming out on March 1st in the UK. I presume it's the same thing but retitled for some reason. Same no. of pages (288) as the US version BUT it's listed as being paperback. Might be a mistake, maybe not. So I'm going to hold off until I can see it before I order it.

It looks great (although the cover is gaudy as hell). There's a fair few grammatical errors, and there's nothing in there you can't find more detailed in any of the Uptown-related books. Saying all that, it's a fine biog.

Some of the reviews I didn't agree with personall (The Family and Exodus spring to mind).

it seemed to be created as a quickie companion piece to prince's "21 nights" book. that's my theory, anyway. shrug

O2 was discussed in the US edition.
